- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice or Lemon Juice (optional at time of consumption)
Instructions
- For single serving homemade electrolyte water, follow the single serving ingredient list. Add each of the above ingredients to 16-32 ounces of water and stir well. For added flavoring, freeze dried fruit powder is a great option. Local honey or pure maple syrup also makes a great natural sweetener.
